Any plans to make it easier to use these components without having to
have Creator and/or Glassfish is what I'm really wondering. I prefer to
use just plain Tomcat when I can, and I've come to really like Eclipse
for my IDE. But I do all my building, running of tests and deployment
using Maven. Right now it seems like it would be very difficult for me
to even try and get a sample webapp up and running that uses these
components with my preferred development tools.
